1992 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"Buy one. You won't regret it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CV boot and joints went at 200,000 km.
Brakes had to be replaced at 210,000 km.
Cruise Control don't work.
General comments?
This car is very fast for a 4 door sedan and it has a respectable 3L V6 (same engine as the 6 banger Lexus's). The body lines are flawless, it looks very much like a sporty sedan.
My Toyota Camry is extremely reliable for a high mileage car and great on gas.
My experience with Camry's have been great. My previous car was also a 92 Camry (4 cyl) and when I passed it down to my little brother it had 1,000,000 kilometers on the Odo and still had 95% of the compression left, it ran like it was brand new. Although I paid $5,000 for it, I only spent $1500 total on wear-and-tear parts. And I bought it at 120,000 kilometers!. I owned it for 5 years and I needed something more luxurious so I got a LE.
The interior is well laid out, very comfortable, a pleasant driving experience. Everything is within your hand reach.
Toyota did a very good job with the audio aspects of the Camry, I'm running a JVC head unit with all OEM speakers, unbelievably loud!. If your looking for more luxury and you have the cash, get a XLE.
My Camry hasn't given me any engine problems since I bought it 1 yr ago.
Great on gas, very reliable, very fast.
If you wanna buy a Camry, don't worry about the mileage, these cars are known to go past the 900k mark.
